Britain, Australia, Switzerland, Palestine just to name a few places.... ___ Once war began in 1939, international communications were severely affected. Most Jews who fled did so before the start of the war. For example, fleeing to Britain, Australia or Palestine in or after September was almost impossible. It was possible for some to reach the U.S. in particular in 1939-41.
to other countries. they didn't have a homeland until the creation of Israel. the people living in Palestine were kicked out of that area and is part of why there is conflict between the counties today
Anti-Semetism has existed for centuries, but in many countries they were accepted or at least tolerated. Nazi Germany used the Jews as scapegoats and blamed all of their postwar economic problems on them. The Nuremberg Laws of 1935 stripped Jews of German Citizenship and basic rights. It led to their isolation and extermination.
Refugees flee from countries where they are persecuted (harassed, or worse) by the government) to countries where they can live in peace and lead normal lives. An obvious example is Jews fleeing from Nazi Germany to, say, Britain or the U.S.
The Hadrianic persecution, when Rome, under Hadrian, killed an estimated half-million Jews and enslaved many (quite probably another half million)? Or do you mean the Crusades, when most of the Jewish communities of the Rhineland were destroyed, driving Jewish refugees east into Poland? Or do you mean the Bubonic Plague, when Jewish communities across Europe were murdered or expelled for causing the plague? Or do you mean the expulsion of Jews from England in 1290? Or do you mean the expulsion of Jews from Spain in 1492? Or do you mean the expulsion of Jews from Lutheran lands in Germany during the Reformation, which drove more Jews into Poland? Or do you mean the Khmelnytsky Uprising in Poland, which decimated the Jewish community in what was then Polish Ukrane? Perhaps you are referring to the pogroms, anti-Jewish rioting encouraged by the Russian governments between 1880 and 1920 that drove millions of Jews to flee to Western Europe and the Americas? Or do you mean the Holocaust, orchestrated by Nazi Germany?

The Japanese, lacking the 'Christian background' to antisemitism, found the Nazis' hatred of the Jews utterly bewildering.

The potato.
The Holocaust.
Under the Roman Empire, Judea and the Galilee were semi-autonomous Jewish kingdoms under Roman rule until a series of revolts in the first and second centuries. Rome crushed these revolts, at very high cost, and when they crushed the last revolt, they took a huge fraction of the Jewish community as slaves and dispersed them through their empire, forbidding Jews to live in Jerusalem and for a while, forbidding Jews from teaching or studying Judaism. Jews managed to regain some rights, but under the Christian Byzantine Empire, Jews were still forbidden to live in Jerusalem and Jewish communities in Byzantine Palestine were tolerated but not encouraged. When the Islamic Caliph conquered Palestine, he allowed Jews to return, but as second class citizens. When the Crusaders conquered large parts of Palestine, they slaughtered the resident Jews, when Saladin drove the Crusaders from Jerusalem, her allowed Jews back in, but again, as second class citizens. That arrangement lasted until the British took Palestine in World War I. Throughout these years, when Jews were persecuted elsewhere, some raised money to buy land in Palestine. There was a big influx after the Spanish expulsion in 1492, and another starting in the 1890s as a result of Russian persecution. When Germany began persecuting Jews in the 1930s, more began to try to buy Palestinian land. The basic outline of the British partitioning of Palestine was based on the land ownership patterns of Jews and non-Jews at the time, but the two communities were so intermingled that large numbers of Jews ended up having to flee into the new Jewish state while large numbers of Arabs fled onto the Arab side, creating huge refugee problems on both sides.
some tried to flee, some stayed.
He never even went to Germany. He tried to flee FROM France TO the Austrian army, who were allied to the Prussians, who were German.
They did not need to flee. Spain was never occupied, nor did it have to surrender its Jews.
There were not many things that the Jewish people in Germany could do during WWII, except keep their loved ones as safe as possible and try to flee Germany. The Jewish people could not sell their items, and it was extremely dangerous to buy anything else.
